Update 1.4.0 is out!


Hi everyone! So it's been a while since I made an update, but this one should actually change a lot. The biggest feature of this update is modifiers (think of them as mini-modes with some fun gimmicks). Presumably there will be more modifiers coming in the future (I made a system that makes them easy to implement), but it might take a while (since this is just my small passion project, you can check out this project's "schedule"  of updates). Nevertheless, here are patch notes of this update:

1. Added never-before-seen feature: Modifiers. The goal of that feature is to make experience more varied and fun by introducing new mechanics and gimmicks. Currently there are only 8 modifiers. I think you trying them out blind is a great idea, but if you really want to have short description of each of them you can find it in README.txt 

2. Added True Acceleration mode! It's like normal acceleration mode, but instead of being time-based it is bounce-based (that way it is much more similar to original Pong).

3. Added option to improve pancake collision (it is supposed to make it harder to accidentally replicate the bug where Niko is stuck in pancake, but since I like this bug this feature is optional)

4. Added vibrations to controller (you can find how to turn them off in README.txt)

5. Added A new eAster egg relAted to key

6. Added a way to activate one of easter eggs on controller (it is very secret though)

7. Added new name easter egg (it is NEKO)

8. Made anticheese text yellow instead of white

9. Made anticheese activate faster (from 3 seconds to 2 seconds)

10. Fixed an oversight where various timers wouldn't reset after scoring

11. Fixed an oversight where various timers did not stop during pause

12. Fixed a bug related to collisions during pause (I think I might have already said it was fixed, but it actually wasn't)

13. Fixed a bug that made you unable to reset scores in solo mode with controller

After adding all this stuff the code is more than twice as big compared to how it was before, so I am pretty proud of it. Have fun!
